Someone I've met locally a few times (who writes an awesome blog which *you* should read) just friended me on Facebook. I was scrolling idly through her profile page (procrastinating my homework, y'see) and I noticed a name I vaguely recognized. I click through, and it's someone I worked with 10 years ago at Planned Parenthood in Seattle! Small teeny tiny world.

Yes, I'm avoiding my homework. I was so diligent yesterday about avoiding this homework that I actually sat down and wrote a short paper instead (also due this weekend, so it totally needed to be done). So at least the paper is out of the way.... :) My homework's not so bad, really. We're doing Lexis-Nexis this week. If I need help, I can call my lawyer in (from the next room) and ask him. :)

Elena was going to be cat for Halloween until Tuesday night, when out of the blue she decided she wanted to be a fairy (this morning: "a PINK fairy"). I went to buy a few things, only to discover that Disney, having cornered the princess market, is now moving into the fairy market. Yup, there was DisneyFairyTM stuff *everywhere* (that Tinkerbell movie might have something to do with this). So I was very proud of myself that I managed to figure out how we'll cobble together an outfit that was never touched by Disney hands or marketers. Woo!!

Okay, okay, once more, dear friends, into the breach!

I had one final question I was stuck on for the homework assignment, and galagan was in here, and asked me about it. I said "see, I put this term here and then I put this term here and then I get nothing."

He said, "Watch, while I'm standing here, this time it will work."

And do you know what? IT DID. Same search terms as the previous 10 attempts, swear to the gods, and this time I had a whole page of results.

I've already told him that I want him to just stand behind my chair for our final exam.

I'm just spamming you all today

Post this on your LJ if you're in an opposite-sex marriage and you don't want it to be "protected" by the bigots who think that gay marriage cheapens or hurts it somehow.

Yup. Having lived in Massachusetts for 2 1/2 years now, with Teh Gay Mairrage all around us, I can't say it's affected my marriage in any way whatsoever.

(I'm suddenly reminded of the bumper sticker: "Don't like abortion? Then don't have one."

Only this would read "Don't like gay marriage? Then don't have one." Even better than the original, I think.)

Halloween pictures! (and more)
